Historic Wins and Farewells: Thursday at the Paris Olympics

Simone Biles captures her sixth Olympic gold amid euphoric cheers, marking a triumphant return. Andy Murray bids an emotional farewell to tennis at Roland Garros. Controversies and unexpected exits continue, including Italian boxer Angela Carini's withdrawal and gender debates. France shines with multiple wins in swimming.

U.S. gymnast Simone Biles sealed her comeback with her sixth Olympic gold medal in front of a euphoric crowd at the Paris Games on Thursday.

Italian boxer Angela Carini withdrew from the Paris Olympics mid-fight after receiving a series of heavy blows from an Algerian opponent who last year failed a gender eligibility test at the World Championships. On the red clay of Roland Garros, Britain's Andy Murray bid farewell to tennis.

Simone Biles won her second gold medal of the Paris Summer Games, delivering an electrifying performance to triumph over her Brazilian rival Rebeca Andrade and cap a stunning comeback. Biles, the most decorated gymnast of all-time, withdrew from the Tokyo Olympics to prioritize her mental health after suffering from the 'twisties.'

Andy Murray's illustrious career finally came to an end as he and doubles partner Dan Evans were defeated 6-2 6-4 by American pair Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul in the quarter-finals at Roland Garros. Murray, regarded as one of Britain's greatest sportsmen, announced his retirement before the Games.

Italian welterweight Carini could be heard saying 'it's not right' moments after she pulled out of her round of 16 fight, fueling a gender debate in light of her opponent's past disqualification for failing eligibility rules. The International Olympic Committee allowed the Algerian to fight in Paris.
